Behind the Bush in the Garden is well-known in Ireland, Scotland, Cape Breton and the Shetlands. In Scotland it is best known as Wha’ll Be King but Charlie and was a rallying song for the Jacobites. Indeed, a few Irish fiddlers have recorded the tune under the title Royal Charlie, and this seems to support the Jacobean link. Some attribute the tune to the great Scottish fiddler Neil Gow, although he never claimed it. This delightfully melodic single jig is also commonly used to accompany the dance Flora MacDonald’s Fancy. (tratto da qui)
